winter driving

A winter storm is an event in which wind coincides with varieties of precipitation that only occur at freezing temperatures, such as snow, mixed snow and rain, or freezing rain. In temperate continental climates, these storms are not necessarily restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring as well. A snowstorm with strong winds and other conditions meeting certain criteria is called a blizzard.

    Is my heating power consumption correct?

    Winter range...

    I appreciate this has probably been discussed previously but, I've just charged our MG4 Trophy overnight to 80%. The app is telling me it has 127 miles of range. I knew winter temperatures would have an impact on the range but that is quite an alarming drop off to the usual expected miles available.

    Tyre pressure in winter

    I have never before had a car which reports the tyre pressure (as opposed to just screaming when it drops.) So I have never before seen how much lower are the pressures in cold weather. It's basic physics, obviously, and no real surprise, but it's more salient when thrust in your face. So...

    Range concerns on S5

    Hi everyone..... Had my S5 over a month and generally very pleased with it so far. However, I am a little concerned over the range I'm getting. I know it's the wrong time of year to be expecting big range numbers near to what the manufacturer claims, but this is worse than my previous MG4...

    Cold weather motorway mi/kWh?

    Having had my MG4 Trophy for around 3 months now, i have been getting an average of 3.6 mi/kWh from my 50 mile round commute, of mostly A/B road driving. I am planning on using it for a snowboard trip to Austria (St. Anton) in February. What sort of mi/kWh should i expect at 70mph at say 0...

    Winter driving

    I'm not impressed at all with the car on icy mornings it's taking 15 minutes or more to unfreeze the windscreen, and you freeze during the process, I put the vent on recirculation, but on driving in traffic I find I'm breathing diesel fumes as it isn't closing properly if at all, when I try to...

    Winter Driving

    MG5 LR is the first automatic car i have had. Apart from the "drive" option, is there a setting i don't know about for driving in icy conditions? Some automatics i saw years ago had a "first gear" setting which the drivers told me was to stop the wheels over-revving on ice.
